National College Trichy

National College, Tiruchirapalli was founded in June, 1919, thanks to the munificence of the late Diwan Bahadur S.Rm.CT.Pethachi Chettiar, Zamindar of Andipatti and the collective initiative and zeal of Justice T.V.Seshagiri Iyer, Sir.T.Desikachariar, N.D.Subbarama Iyer and Sri. Sivarama Krishna Iyer and a galaxy of eminent personalities. The college in fact had its origin to the National High School founded on the 11th of June 1886. The nascent nationalism of three illustrious teachers - Messrs.G.Sesha Iyengar, P.G.Sundaresa Sastrigal and B.S.Venkataramana Sarma - led to the founding of this school.
